After eight years, the passion has evaporated from Sidney Stein's marriage. Her husband seems disinterested and Sidney, always flirtatious, begins to turn her attentions elsewhere. But surely, Sidney could've chosen more wisely than a man more than 20 years her senior? Wait - it gets worse. He's also married. And here's the coup de grâce - he's a partner in her father's law firm.

One would think that Sidney couldn't make a worse choice - but perhaps that's what makes it all seem so right.

I had read, and loved, two books by Ms. Ballis prior to reading "Inappropriate Men." However, this one took the cake. Sidney is down to earth and not afraid to display her flaws. I found myself cheering for and sympathizing with her throughout the entire story. Plus, Ms. Ballis' descriptions of food made me super hungry!

I haven't heard of this author before! This sounds like a really good read, and will definitely have to add her to my to-read list! New to this blog btw, and am loving it! Congrats on the anniversary ;)

Go Sidney!! If your man is significantly older than you and your relationship seems "inappropriate" to some, ignore them and go with your heart! I haven't read the book yet, but I'm hoping that Stacey Ballis writes a happy ending for Sidney.
